Bissell TurboClean PowerBrush Pet Carpet Cleaner, 2987,Green/ Black

Y’all I was shocked, shooketh, surprised at the power of this thing. Please don’t judge me, my carpets were absolutely disgusting. This carpet cleaner cut through 8 years of stains and pet potty accidents on the worlds best example of a landlord special. I seriously thought there was no hope for this carpet and it was honestly a huge deterrent from having guests. I also had an elderly little dog who had bladder troubles and would often miss the potty pads and go straight on the carpet. Bless his precious soul, he left a lot of foul smells. Foul smells and stains that this carpet cleaning cut right through. You guys I’m honestly shocked at how well this performed. The only thing I would make note of is spend the extra $60 and buy the deluxe version. It comes with the attachments for smaller spaces. The basic one I bought does not have that ability. Still great though!!

I like this shampoo vacuum very much, it works great. and for what it cost it’s a great value for the money no complaints there. The one thing I dislike is the capacity of the dirty water tank, it doesn’t hold as much as you think based on appearance because the full line is only about 3 inches up despite the tank being much larger. I guess it’s designed that way to prevent liquid being sucked into the impeller itself, so the float valve stack has to be made tall enough. Despite that small inconvenience it’s a really good machine just take time and don’t go too fast so as to give the vacuum time to suck up as much liquid as possible out of the carpet, mostly in the pull back stroke, thereby reducing the time the carpet or rug will take to dry.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this lifted the dirt and stains.from my carpet. I have a rescue dog who has separation anxiety so he pees and this machine cleaned that too. The downside to this machine is that the holding tanks are rather small so you can only clean a very small area before having to empty the dirty tank and refill the clean tank. I also wish this had a wand or extension to clean closer to the walls and couches.

Bought this carpet cleaner to combat long-time, set-in stains that were here when I bought the house and had been made worse by traffic. My carpet is an older Berber, and it did fine with this machine. There was no snagging or pulling at any point. This is probably the best money I’ve spent in a really long time. As you can see in the photos, the dirt and grime was lifted completely from the carpet. The machine was incredibly easy (and satisfying) to put together, and it was simple to use. I bought a bottle of solution with my purchase, and I definitely think I would’ve needed it despite the cleaner coming with a smaller bottle of solution. But as you can see, these stains were big and tough. I vacuumed the hallways thoroughly before using the cleaner. It is a bit loud, so keep that in mind. It took several trips to either refill the solution tank or empty the dirty water tank, but those hassles were completely worth the results. This machine does have a trigger, and the instructions recommend pressing the trigger while going forward and backward. I ran the machine over the spot several times during the non-triggered (sucking) phase, and the carpet was damp at worst. It took no time to dry completely, and the smell of the solution did not stick around like some cleaners tend to do. In the picture with the door, you can see the stain has some rounded areas. I tried my much smaller Bissell pet spot cleaner on that stain. It was mostly successful, but you can see this cleaner removed the stain completely. Cleanup was only mildly tedious, with having to really rinse the dirty water tank, and then remove the plastic piece where the machine sucks up the water to clean it. I left everything loosely put back together to let it all dry. Again, these tiny hassles are completely worth it to me. I cannot wait to use this appliance again, especially knowing maintenance will be much easier each time. My carpet feels new, and it looks great. I know other Berber owners had issues, but I would imagine newer, higher pile Berber may react differently to the suction of this machine. My older, flatter Berber did fine. If you’re on the fence or have been eyeing this machine for a while, here’s your sign to buy it. It really works.

For over a decade now, I have run a company that supplies, trains, and services professional carpet cleaners, so I hope you will pardon me if I act like I know what Im talking about, lol. I have used everything from a Rug Doctor, all the way up through professional truck mounted machines. I have cleaned carpet and floors in trashed-out apartments, high end hotels, expensive lake houses, hospitals, and everything in between. Urine, vomit, blood, feces, coffee, Kool-aid, you name it and Ive cleaned it. No matter what equipment you use, the concept of getting soil out of a carpet is the same - use the proper type and amount of chemistry, proper heat level in the water, proper agitation to suspend soil, and proper removal of that water with the soil in it. Appropriate dwell time is also necessary for deeply embedded or chronic soiling issues. This machine is quite capable of producing all the proper elements when used correctly. I do, however, have a few recommendations on changes to the instructions given with the machine. First and foremost, use only half of the detergent that they tell you to. No matter how much soil is present, never ever use more than they suggest. I used only half and achieved fantastic results. I would imagine the full dose is only necessary for serious soil issues. Secondly, double up on the amount of dry strokes that you do, AKA passes that you make without pulling the trigger. Keep going over the carpet with the machine until you no longer see any water coming up through the window in the front. The carpet will still feel damp to the touch, but will be dry much more quickly this way. And last, do a freshwater rinse afterward with nothing but water in the clean hopper. NO detergent. You will see a tremendous amount of leftover detergent and soil residue coming up in the freshwater rinse (this step might seem like a pain, but you will be very glad you did it once you realize that otherwise, all of that residue would have been left behind in the carpet for you to walk on.) Follow up with the same double amount of dry strokes after the fresh rinse. No carpet cleaning machine, no matter how powerful, can remove years of soil build-up in just one use. Particularly if the soil has gotten down to the bottom of the carpet, where it is sewn or glued into its backing. Trying to soak the carpet and get all the way down there has the potential to destroy the carpets binding and destroy it. So dont bother. (NOTE BENE: This machine, or any other home machine for that matter, is not going to get pet urine out of the padding thats installed under the carpet, and soaking the carpet in an attempt to do so is only going to result in serious problems and microbial growth. Dont do it. Please.) The big difference between home cleaning and the professional truck mounted units is the amount of time its going to take to get the same result. You may have to use the machine multiple times, with a few days in between to let it dry completely, to get abused carpet to look and smell good again. And remember that soil and damage are two different things, so if your carpet is worn or abraded or has had its pile reversed by foot traffic, that is not something that can be cleaned away. It is damage, not dirt. So dont expect miracles. The brush on this machine is very good at fluffing the pile up and correcting crush damage, and it dug an amazing amount of pet hair out of our freize even after a thorough vacuuming. If you are willing to be patient, use the machine multiple times, and follow all of the advice Ive given, there is no reason you cannot get almost as good a result from this machine as you would from having a professional come do it for you. The difference is in the time its going to take, both in the cleaning and in running back and forth with the water hoppers. I still recommend hiring a professional for those serious yearly deep cleans, but if you have pets or small children in the house this machine is an excellent way to avoid add-on charges for chronic soil and serious restoration issues when you do have the professionals come in to service you.

The best thing about this cleaner was how simple it was, in design and usage. This sucked up so much more dog hair that I wasnt even aware of it being there. The roller brushes were amazing and did a fantastic job, also. It might be a good idea to use this as the vacuum cleaner and then as a stain/dirt cleaner. It is so simple to snap together and use that a child could do it! Just remember this is not a vacuum cleaner when the carpet is wet and you have to run it very slowly across the wet carpet, because it puts a lot of water on the carpet and it spreads pretty fast, so it might take two or three slow drags across to get most of that water up. I wish everything was manufactured as well and simple as this item. Its not really necessary to have all of those bells and whistles on products to get the job done right and they got this one RIGHT!!! Mike in SWFL

Used a non rotating carpet cleaner that constantly leaked, even after replacing seals and other parts. This unit is easy to assemble and operate. There have been no leaks after multiple uses (about 15 times). The rotating brush is perfect for extracting pet hair and other debris.

I purchased this machine 2 years ago and let me tell you something… this machine is a power house and cleans better than others I’ve used in the past. It easily removes stains from the carpet/rug almost immediately. Side note, I only used vinegar, fabric softener and pipping hot water for the solution and works wonders. Still truly happy with this purchase.

Pet messes are a package deal when it comes to owning a cat or dog or any pet that is capable of puking or peeing or pooping on the floor. This carpet cleaner works very well and is super simple to use. Its got a small tank so it doesnt take long to fill up. Its not intended to scrub the whole house so dont expect it do so unless you plan on continuously emptying the reservoir multiple times. It is specifically for spot clean up. It works very well and is easy to take apart to clean after each use. No more stress of stains or smells after your pet has an accident. The Bissell carpet cleaner will take care of it.

Between cats, dogs, and kids, my carpets are constantly disgusting. I had been renting or borrowing a carpet cleaner every couple of months prior to this, but we finally bit the bullet and bought our own. The photos attached are in my son’s bedroom - I believe it’s soda stains. Well, not anymore at least. Pros: it’s got huge tanks. For one bedroom I had to dump twice and refill once, and had tons left over in the tank after that 2nd refill. It’s heavy duty - you can definitely tell that it’s getting the carpets clean, because there’s intense suction. You feel it when you pull it backward. Plus, I mean, the nozzle attachment. Haven’t used it yet but it’s next on my list. Cons: it’s heavy. Heavier than the rental vacuum in a way. That may be because of the suction this sucker has, but it’s a bit harder to maneuver than some I’ve used in the past. It’s also loud - I know they’re not meant to be quiet, but it lets out a high pitch at a frequency that tickles my brain in a not-fun way. Highly recommend headphones when using it. If you’re looking for a carpet cleaner, this one is excellent for the value.
